The first Improvisation is fast and extremely powerful, taking the listener on an intensely emotional ride. The second Improvisation is much slower, more lyrical, building to a more powerful, intense ending.

With the exception of “Clear Perception”, each section starts with a short introductory Improvisation (Though in “Perceptive Insight”, this introductory Improvisation is much longer) followed by 2 Improvisations. “Clear Perception” has a set of 3 Improvisations.

Improvisations 2 & 8 are in the key of G-flat Major, and have been called “something special”.

Serenity continues in the new, more modern style he achieved in “Intensity”, but less intense, more serene. It culminated in the unique Serenity 11 which travels constantly through a true kaleidoscope of keys.

With this Set, Julius Schmidt has reached a new high, having achieved a radically tonally modern, intense sound, with a moving, powerful drive and deeper emotional angst. It ends in the extremely slow, emotionally charged, and beautifully haunting Intensity 12.

With this set, Julius Schmidt continued his stylistic growth with music that is more mature, exciting, and emotionally deep. Aspiring 2 and 3 are particularly powerful and emotionally charged, and Aspiring 1 and 5 achieve a new sense of breadth.

10. Immersion

7 Improvisations recorded in April - June 2011

With this set, Julius Schmidt continued his stylistic growth with music that is more mature, exciting, and emotionally deep.

With this Set, Julius Schmidt’s style began to go though a change, becoming more mature and increasing in depth. They are relaxing pieces of music, bringing to mind comfortably relaxing at home in the evening.

A large set (over 4 1/2 hours long), slowly becoming more complex as the set moves along.

The set is divided into 4 subsets. The first subset consists of Improvs 1-8, and moves slowly towards a climax. The second subset consists of Improvs 9-12, and is sort of like a free-flowing, slow sonata. The third subset consists of Improvs 13-18, and moves towards a deeper kind of climax. The fourth subset consists of Improvs 19-24, and is the deepest and most complex part of the Set.

1. Improvs: Set 1

7 Improvisations recorded in June - July 2006

Even though Julius Schmidt has been improvising since he was very young, however, the first recordings of his improvising were not until the summer of 2006. They are mono recordings, but are extremely relaxing, even being used in hospital reflexology departments to help relax their patients.
